Another story of excessive police force against unarmed African American kids

Problem is, and I've had this happen many times, I make a comment... Get called liberal by conservative friends and conservative by liberal friends. I mention other parts of the story and get called racist. So sometimes it's better to hold my opinion because no matter what I'd say, on either side of an issue, I lose.

Part of the problem too, aside from race...is that there seems to be a flourishing problem of police brutality in enough cases, that it's drawing media attention. They should display better conduct than the average joe. But, the average joe...if he/she were to whip out a gun on a bunch of unarmed teens...would be in jail. So the average joe seems to be held to a different standard than police. That is a problem.

Are you referring to the pool party incident? If so the actions of the host and story do not engender much trust..

Apparently since it was a party as rental agreement was needed [1]. Furthermore, the host had a DJ that played music laden with profanities. When interviewed she never specifies HOW MANY persons she invited, did not produce a rental agreement for the pool, nor a permit to have the DJ preform.

Next, the family and host incriminate themselves by saying they had cases of food and water. Now we have the host claiming (without evidence) that those that jumped the pool were dissociated to the unspecified persons at the event.

Her story stinks and the cops actions are not much better. Screw them both.
